The Waterproof Gal Pal Stud is a toy of excellent quality, but comes up a bit lacking in the performance department. Despite the pictures, this vibrator is actually more of a dark shade of purple instead of the light one shown, which I happened to find appealing. Its just a little over 8 inches in length, with about 7 inches of actual insertion. The toy is also thick, really thick, its about 7 inches in diameter. The toy is made of Latex and has a nice, soft velvety feel to it which never goes away after use. It can be used with water and silicone based lube and cleaning should be done with a mild soap and hot water. The downside, or maybe upside depending on how you look at it, with the latex is that it retains scents and flavors. I found that it would always smell of whatever soap I had used to clean it with days after use and that if you ever got too into use and licked the toy it would taste like said soap as well. The toy features a dial for the vibrator portion which requires two AA batteries (not included). The dial hits a low, medium and high setting along with everything in between and the vibrations on high reach a good level. Unfortunately the toy has a few design flaws that hold back its true potential. Underneath the latex is a foam that actually absorbs some of the vibrations, but what was worse was that the vibrator didn't go the entire length of the toy. This made initial use hard because the foam only head would bend and flex way too much to find its way in. The toy is waterproof but I found that the sealing around the battery cap to be lacking because rust started to form rather quickly.

Although the toy holds up for the most part it's drawback was in use. Because of the toy only consisting of foam in the upper portion, it became rather difficult to get it in before the lube would wash away in the shower. I found myself constantly having to re-lube just to get the toy to penetrate. Once inside the toy does offer a lot of flexibility and it can reach that pleasure point fairly easily. The problem is that without the vibration it doesn't offer much. It's thickness is only really pleasurable upon penetration and after that you have a boring dildo. So does the vibration save it? Well, yes and no. The vibration does make the toy all worth while but it just isn't strong enough once its inside you. Because its already being muted by the foam insulation, it loses most of the remaining energy just trying to make you quiver and it's just not enough. It can get you going but it leaves most of the work up to you.

The Waterproof Gal Pal Stud is by no means a bad toy, its just not a great toy for men. It's features seem to all fall just a bit short of achieving greatness and it leaves you pleasured and satisfied but still craving for something better. As a guy you should let this toy stay a Gal Pal and find something more suited for you.

It's size is more than enough to keep this toy around. Although the vibrations aren't the most powerful it's great at making you feel filled.
